Rishabh Pant stayed till the end along with Sumit Kumar and finished things off in just 8.5 overs.

4:45 PM IST DELHI DOMINATION! A fantastic all-round performance from them and they have blown away Gujarat at their own den. This will give them a lot of confidence to go further in the tournament.

They will need to go back to the drawing board and come back stronger in the next one.
